How it works

Check & clean in three steps

1

Add your video

Drag a clip onto the box or click to browse. It’s read locally — no upload.

2

See what’s inside

The tool surfaces embedded data like GPS, device model and timestamps.

3

Download clean

Export a re-encoded copy with the original metadata dropped, for private sharing.

Why use it

Know before you share

Reveal hidden data

Surfaces location, device, software and creation-date tags stored in the file.

One-tap strip

Re-encodes a clean copy that leaves the revealing metadata behind.

Spot GPS tags

Flags embedded GPS coordinates — the most sensitive thing videos leak.

100% private

The file is inspected on your device — it’s never uploaded anywhere.

Good to know

What metadata is in a video

Beyond the picture and sound, video files carry a container of metadata: the device that recorded it, the software that exported it, the creation timestamp, and — from many phones — the exact GPS coordinates where you filmed.

Why it matters

That data is invisible in a player but trivially readable from the file. Posting an untouched clip can quietly reveal where you live, work or travel. Checking first puts you in control.

How stripping works here

This tool re-encodes the video locally into a fresh file. The new copy contains only the frames and audio — the original container’s location, device and timestamp tags are left behind. Keep your original if you need that information; share the clean copy when you don’t.
